Hyperlinks
Hyperlinks are underlined words or phrases in a book that, when clicked, take you to another place in the book or to a web page.
Internal Hyperlinks
These hyperlinks always take you to another location in the book or document you're reading, usually to a specific place that has more information on the hyperlinked subject. For example, clicking on hyperlinks takes you to the head of this section.
External Hyperlinks
External hyperlinks take you to web pages using the Kindle's web browser. (Wireless must be on to follow external hyperlinks.) Many books mark external hyperlinks with an icon so you'll know that clicking on it will take you to a web page. For example, clicking on Kindle Nation Daily takes you to http://kindlenationdaily.com/
To return to your place after clicking on either an internal or external hyperlink, press the Back button.
Complex web pages may cause your Kindle to become unresponsive or frozen. To fix this, see Fixing Problems .
X-Ray
Touch:
If enabled for your book, you can get a summary of the characters and subjects while reading a book by touching the top of the screen to bring up the menu bars and selecting “X-Ray” from the bottom menu bar. If “X-Ray” is not shown, then the X-Ray feature is not enabled for that particular book.
Fire:
A similar feature is available on the Fire, called “Book Extras”. While reading a book, touch the center of the screen to bring up the menu bars, and touch the Menu icon at the bottom. Then select “Book Extras” from the pop-up menu. Book Extras are not available for all titles.
Reading Newspapers and Magazines
Reading periodicals on the Kindle is similar to reading books but there are a few differences, especially in navigation. Periodicals are broken into sections, which in turn contain articles.
Basic, Keyboard, DX:
While reading a periodical, a navigation bar appears below the progress indicator. You can select “Previous article” or “Next article” to move between articles in order. To see the contents of the periodical, click on the middle choice, “View Sections and Articles”. This screen shows sections on the left and articles on the right side of the screen. Use the five-way controller to select sections on the left. As you do so, the articles in that section display on the right side of the screen. You can go directly to a section or article by clicking on it.
While you are in Sections and Articles view, the navigation bar shows “View Articles List”, which you can click to see all articles in order of appearance. To return to the contents, click on “View Sections and Articles.”
Navigate through the pages in an article with the Previous and Next page buttons in the usual way.
Touch:
While reading a periodical, tap the top of the screen to show the menu bars. To see the table of contents, tap the Thumbnail icon next to the Back icon, or the Sections and Articles icon just to the right.
Thumbnail view shows the sections as thumbnails with the section title as well as the title and a short description of the first article. Tap on an article to read it or tap on the number of articles to see thumbnails of the articles in that section. You can navigate through the sections or articles by swiping right or down to move forward. To move backward, swipe left or up.
Sections and Articles view presents a list of sections on the left half of the screen. Tap a section to select it and show the articles in that section on the right side of the screen. Tap an article to open it.
While reading an article, move to the next page by tapping the center or right side of the screen or by swiping left to right. Move to the previous page by tapping the left edge of the screen, or swiping right to left.
You can move to the next or previous article by swiping vertically.
